Catalog in both lightroom 3 and 4

I take classes in digital photography at the local college.  They use Lightroom 3 and I have Lightroom 4.1 at home.  You will need to edit images both at home and at school.  4 Lightroom catalogs can only be read in Lightroom 3.  Is it possible to edit a catalog in two versions?

There is no way that a catalog file can be used in LR3 LR4.

However, individual photos can be edited in 2010 in LR3 and LR4 process, and if you save metadata to the files (Ctrl-S on Windows), you should be able to transfer photos back and keep changes, and other metadata. Your historical edition will not transfer, will not transfer State of collection and a few other things will not transfer but final edited position and keywords and captions and titles and other things (too many to list) will transfer.

  • share a catalog between lightroom 5 and 6

    I just upgraded LR 5 to 6 on my desktop machine, because I have a new camera which is not supported in LR 5.

    I also shoot one off project site via a laptop in a LR5 catalogue, which is stored on a portable player, that I then interprets in my Studio to work on the images. a few days later I bring her to the place and keep shooting in the same catalog.

    my laptop is 32-bit, which means I can't install LR6 on it. It is also too small and not powerful enough to cause real changes in this regard.

    How can I share this catalogue LR5 between two machines?

    I can't just open it in 6, because it will be converted and then unreadable for 5, right?

    Can I force my desktop machine to open the LR5 catalogue? He always seems to be there, at least judging from the files I see in Explorer.

    Can I force LR6 to save in a compatible format?

    also: the entire workflow of this project is very dependent on plugins that I installed in LR5. I don't know, if they work at 6.

    Thank you

    Hi georg_m,

    As the catalogs are not backward compatible, you can not use catalog Lightroom 6-5.

    The best you can do is to write the changes and metadata in the files in Lightroom 6 and import images into Lightroom 5.

    After importation, you can read the metadata of these files.

    But if you have applied any new functionality develop in Lightroom 6, you would not be able to transfer it.

    Even you will not be able to transfer the flags of choice of collections, virtual copy and alter history.

    Disable the GPU acceleration.

    For Windows, you should go to the website of the manufacturer of your graphics processor and check the driver updates. Once updated you can try turning on GPU acceleration, otherwise leave this option disabled.

  • If I update my Photoshop Elements catalog (13) in Lightroom will I still be able to access the catalogue in elements?

    I have a 60 000 catalog + elements I'm using since version 2 or 3. I considered pulling in Lightroom, but don't know if I'll be able to adjust my workflow - so I can continue to use elements instead. The upgrade change the catalog or copy it? Can the two programs share the same catalog? I read that events created in an existing catalog of items will not appear in Lightroom. Is this true? Are there other tags/etc which cannot be accessed?

    Thank you

    Christine

    Update the catalog Lightroom 6 not change or modify your catalog somehow, and elements will continue to be able to use it. Programs do not share the same catalog. Any work you do in the catalog of items once the upgrade is not known of Lightroom, two catalogs do not speak between them.

    My advice is for you to try Lightroom on new photos that are not in the elements, see if you are comfortable with Lightroom on these new photos rather than real work on photos that are in BOTH Lightroom and elements, work in Lightroom ddone transfers automatically to items.

  • OSX Yosemite lightroom crashes and stops at computer

    I have lightroom 5 on a laptop MacBook Pro 2012 and very new iMac.  Since the upgrade to Yosemite, each of my laptop and iMacs have now crushed when using Lightroom.  When I say crash, both computers have both suddenly stopped and restarted.  I've never had a computer crash like this before.  Each time, I was not doing anything particularly in Lightroom, just browsing through the photos in the catalog (thought I admit it is a very large catalog of about 30 000 images.) Just wondering if anyone else has made experience, or what could be the cause of this?

    It is not a Lightroom problem, but a permission problem on your Mac, caused by updates to Yosemite.

    iPhoto place files within a package, it generates so notice you can't see the files, permissions are set by iPhoto... just a bunch of iPhoto library.

    Now you try to have the copied files in the pictures folder or a folder inside.

    Please be specific.

  • Owners of a Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC

    Is - redundant to buy Lightroom CC and 6 Lightroom? When I travel I often have difficulties to access the Internet. I understand that I can work offline for 30 days without access to the internet, so that Adobe can check to see if my account is up to date. In addition, given that I bought both and downloaded accordingly, I expected to be able to see the two CC with Lightroom and Lightroom 6 in my applications list and use both, but whenever I try to access 6 Lightroom, I Lightroom CC. in my account of the documents that I have bought and downloaded 6 Lightroom, all I can find is CC with Lightroom. I have a MacBook Pro with OX S Yosemite.

    Region 6 LR and LR CC exactly the same program. Files same get installed on your drive no matter what/who version you are installing.

    Here's how the 2 versions are separated.

    The difference comes in how you connect to LR.

    If you use an Adobe ID which is, or has already been, associated membership of photographers (even if the subscription is completed), it then becomes the CC version.

    If you sign with a id Adobe that is NOT and never has been, associated with a subscription plan then the program becomes the version 6

    If you need to have 2 separate Adobe ID to have the CC and version 6 active. You can do that on a single computer at the same time.

    But if you have 2 separate Adobe ID you can sign Out with one and sign in with the other. Who would turn LR of CC to 6 or 6 CC depending on which one you used to sign out of and sign back with, subscription ID or no subscription ID.

    I have both. Don't ask my why because ultimately I don't really know why I bought the upgrade to version 6. I have a subscription.

  • Question about recommended Lightroom library and configuration of the synchronization

    I move to a Windows workstation for my main machine from my Mac. I install Lightroom on it as my main photo management software. My library is currently stored in iCloud library on my Mac, and it syncs with my iPhone and iPad in iCloud. What would be the best solution to make my pictures my Windows workstation PC and sync them with my iOS devices? Should I leave them in iCloud photo library, synchronize with my PC, and then catalog them in Lightroom, or should I move them to iCloud library directly imported and stored in Lightroom and then synchronize Lightroom with my iOS devices? Can Lightroom for iOS also copy photos since iOS Photos and in the case I need to use the iOS library selector in other applications? Thank you!

    Hi mallardnathan,

    In order to use Lightroom on the Windows Machine without any problem, we suggest to remove your iCloud photo library images and move it completely on windows, where machine, you can add your images in Lightroom.

    Whether you plan to use Lightroom as your main Photo management software, you should be aware of what Lightroom does not store your images in it like your other software.

    You can synchronize your images from your desktop to the iOS device to make changes, you can add images from the photo library of iOS and synchronize on the Lightroom on your desktop.

    It will be useful.

    Kind regards
